TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOSIAH V. WALDRON, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a. new and improved Rosette; and I do herebydeclare that the following is zt full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use theseme, reference being had to the accom` panyiug drawings, Forming partof this specification.

The present invention relates to rosettes, so culled, more particularlysuch as nre used inthe trimming of harnesses of horses; und it consistsprincipally in o novel Amanner of securing the velvet or other coveringof the rosette to the same, uswill be hereinafter described, referencebeing had to the accompanying plete of drawings, in which- Figure 1 is nplan or top View of the rosette; and

Figure 2 o. central .vertical section.

A, in the drawings, represents the body or main portion of the rosette,which consists of n flat ring, B, having attached to it o. skelet-onshape or freine, C, formed by e series of wires, D, terminating nt theirouter ends in ft.cap-riiig, E; the shape of the frame C being such as tostand out from the ring B in a, semi-globular or hemisphericztl forni,with an opening, F, between the several wires D constituting the seme.G, the covering,Y so celled, to the rosette, which covering is placedupon the inside of' its skeleton frame C, where it is secured by andthrough :t cup-shaped plate, H, upon its inside; this plate, H, beinghanged around its edge et I, and being brought to bear -upon the velvetso as to firmly compress :tud hold the saine in place by means of ascrew, J, screwed into such plate through its open end or cztpering E ofthe skeleton frame C of' the rosette. As the frame of the rosette ismede of a. skeleton shape, the velvet, when secured in or to it, esabove described, is exposed at the openings of such freine, thusenhencing the beauty of, and, besides, imparting umueh better finish andappearance to, the rtsette; the manner of securing the velvet in place,as has been herein explained, enabling the velvet to be removed, ifworn, and replaced with new, with Vbut little trouble and expense, undwithout injuring the body or main portion of the rosette. In lieu ofvelvet, cloth or leather muy be used, or nny other innterel which muy besuitable, and therefore I do not intend to lixnitlnysclf to the use ofany particular kind ot' covering mate rinl, nor'to any one metal orother material of which the body of the rosette is to be composedoumnde, nor to any one particular shape or size of the same; the presentinvention consisting in the manner oi` securing the velvet or othercovering in audito the rosette. In the drawings, a. series of ribbons orstrenmers, 0, so called, :tre shown as secured to the rosette by thesame screw which fustens the velvet covering in place.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The combination with the rosette frame of the innercup-shaped plete H and screw J, or its equivalent, substantially as -ondfor the purpose described.

The above specitication'of my invention signed by me this 8th da-y ofOctober, 1866.
